Common Sandpiper & Magpie - Stewartby Lake

Another photo of the Common Sandpiper taken on the sailing club bank of Stewartby Lake. in slightly better light than I had for the last photos. I just wish it had walked past the car a few minutes earlier when the light was much better as it was for the Magpie. Photos by Martin Green.

Willington.

Myself and Sarah took a walk around here this morning, on the fishing lake we saw the single Common Sandpiper. On the main water there were good numbers of Wigeon, a pair of Oystercatcher flew over and there were 15+ Sand martins. A pair of Shelduck on the pit to the left as you walk from the stile and around the surrounding bushes and trees at least 6 Chiffchaff.
